Copyright @ 1974, The Michigan Entomologist Society THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST OVACARUS PEELLEI, A NEW SPECIES OF MITE (ACARINA: PODAPOLIPIDAE) ASSOCIATED WITH THE CARABID PASIMACHUS ELONGATUS Robert W. Husband Biology Ljepartment, Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan 49221 Recently, a new genus and species of rnite was discovered in association with the vaginal membrane or aedeagus of Clivina impressifrons, a pest which damages corn seed and seedlings in the midwest (Stannard and Vaishampyan 1971). This mite, Ovacarus clivinae, was described as a monotypic species of the genus Ovacams. In the process of examining another midwestern carabid beetle, Pasimachus elongatus LeConte, an unde- scribed species of Ovacarus was discovered. Larviform females were found near the external genitalia. All stages were found associated with oviducts and vaginal membranes, in a manner similar to that described by Stannard and Vaishampayan (1971). The new mite is here described as Ovacarus peellei. METHODS Beetles from which mites are to be removed are placed in individual beakers containing distilled water at 60°C for approximately 112 hour. The beetle is removed from the water and excess water is removed with tissue paper. The elytra are lifted, hind wings are moved aside and the beetle is visually inspected for mites. Seventy percent alcohol is forcefully sprayed on the beetle from a 112 pint squeeze bottle. This is done over a petri dish two inches in diameter. A second visual inspection of the beetle is made. The beetle is dried again with tissuc paper and the wings are returned to the original position. The contents of the petri dish are examined under a dissecting microscope at 10 to 30 magnifications. Podapolipid mites such as those found in this study are usually small, white and possess three pairs of legs. Males and larvifor~nfemales vary from 100-200 microns in length. Adult females are larger, 300-2400 microns, may be round or oval and may have from zero to three pairs of legs. Relatively few setae are found on all stages of these ~nites. Pyemotidae, Tarsonemidae and acarid deutonymphs are approximately the same size but have four pairs of legs. Acarid deutonymphs (hypopi) are very common. A ventral posterior cluster of suction discs characterize this stage. Remaining groups of mites are larger and usually more heavily sclerotized than podapolipid mites. Once found, mites are placed in vials containing 70% alcohol or placed directly on slides. Mites to be mounted directly are picked up with fine tip forceps, excess alcohol is carefully blotted away and mites are placed on slides in Iloyer's mounting medium. After the coverslips arc placed in position, slides are placed on a warming tray (40'-45°C) at least overnight. The next day, slides are labeled completely and edges of coverslips are ringed with lacquer (nail polish). All measurements and drawings are made with the aid of a Wild microscope drawing appar;l tus. 0 V,4 CA K US PEEL I.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

Entomologie, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands Colin G. T readaway, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract: This publication covers all Sphingidae known from the Philippines at this time in the form of an annotated checklist. (A concise checklist of the species can be found in Table 4, page 120.) Distribution maps are included as well as 18 colour plates covering all but one species. Where no specimens of a particular spe­ cies from the Philippines were available to us, illustrations are given of specimens from outside the Philippines. In total we have listed 117 species (with 5 additional subspecies where more than one subspecies of a species exists in the Philippines). Four tables are provided: 1) a breakdown of the number of species and endemic species/subspecies for each subfamily, tribe and genus of Philippine Sphingidae; 2) an evaluation of the number of species as well as endemic species/subspecies per island for the nine largest islands of the Philippines plus one small island group for comparison; 3) an evaluation of the Sphingidae endemicity for each of Vane-Wright’s (1990) faunal regions. From these tables it can be readily deduced that the highest species counts can be encountered on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72), Mindanao, Leyte and Negros (62 each).

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.

  • Impacts of Native and Non-Native Plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better Than Non-Natives?
    Impacts of Native and Non-native plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better than Non-natives? by Carl Scott Clem A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key Words: native plants, non-native plants, caterpillars, natural enemies, associational interactions, congeneric plants Copyright 2015 by Carl Scott Clem Approved by David Held, Chair, Associate Professor: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Ray, Research Fellow: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Debbie Folkerts, Assistant Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Robert Boyd, Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Abstract With continued suburban expansion in the southeastern United States, it is increasingly important to understand urbanization and its impacts on sustainability and natural ecosystems. Expansion of suburbia is often coupled with replacement of native plants by alien ornamental plants such as crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, and Japanese maple. Two projects were conducted for this thesis. The purpose of the first project (Chapter 2) was to conduct an analysis of existing larval Lepidoptera and Symphyta hostplant records in the southeastern United States, comparing their species richness on common native and alien woody plants. We found that, in most cases, native plants support more species of eruciform larvae compared to aliens. Alien congener plant species (those in the same genus as native species) supported more species of larvae than alien, non-congeners. Most of the larvae that feed on alien plants are generalist species. However, most of the specialist species feeding on alien plants use congeners of native plants, providing evidence of a spillover, or false spillover, effect.
